Welcome, I'm Coach Dana

My motto is Every Strand Counts. 

I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing hair loss or scalp disorders, as well as locticians and professionals who practice precision, grid-based microlocks techniques and want to elevate their skills. Through virtual trichology consultations, coaching, and mentoring, I help them strengthen their expertise, grow their confidence, and expand their business offerings. I also offer a trichology-based program that empowers hair professionals to upgrade their service menus with science-backed hair growth and scalp wellness solutions.

My Sisterlocks Journey...

Began in 2000 while serving in the United States Air Force. My life was transformed. Sisterlocks was a perfect pairing for my busy, physically taxing and unpredictable lifestyle. The natural freedom that I did not anticipate inspired me to be a Consultant, to support others to experience their own journey. I have enjoyed years of sharing in the Sisterlocks lifestyle through my personal journey, as a consultant and a trainer. My hair advocacy has now evolved into helping others that are suffering from scalp disorders and hair loss issues.  

 

I began to notice changes in my hair density, even with getting my regular maintenance that included retightenings, shampooing and moisturizing on a consistent basis. I asked myself, why am I losing my hair? I was confused and became self conscious and fearful of losing all my hair. 

 

The fear of losing my health and beauty was the driving force to commit and get into action. I complied with the Trichologist’s recommendations made up of lifestyle changes and was consistent with a personalized scalp and hair regimen.
